last thursday i introduced with senator jon kyl as an original cosponsor, senate bill 1213, the defend and save social security act, a bill that will secure social security for the next 75 years without raising taxes and without cutting core benefits to anyone. 28 years ago this passed april, congress and president reagan came together in a bipartisan manner and acted decisively to address social security's finances to save the program for retirees. the men and women of that congress, working with president reagan, did it because at that time the program's expenditures had begun exceeding revenues in 1975. by mid-1982, the social security trustees warned -- this is a quote -- "social security will be unable to make benefit payments on time beginning in the latter half of 1982." so the president and the congress, in a bipartisan effort, started on a glide path of raising the retirement age to meet the current actuarial tables. today we are in roughly the same place. this spring the trustees estimated that the social security trust fund reserves will be depleted in 2036, which is 25 year
